Why These Features Matter
Magnification: 1x
Magnification determines the apparent size of the target and affects field of view, speed, and practical engagement distance.
Objective Lens: 34mm
Objective diameter affects light transmission, mounting height, weight, and the optic’s overall profile.
Reticle: Red Dot
Reticle design affects aiming speed, holdovers, ranging, and how easily the sight picture can be read.
Dot Size: 1 MOA
A smaller dot supports more precise aiming, while a larger dot is generally faster to acquire at close range.
Tube Size: 34MM
Scope tube diameter must match the rings or mount exactly and can influence adjustment range and mounting options.
Finish: Matte Black
This specification helps define performance, mounting compatibility, durability, or the optic’s intended role.
Best For
- Fast target acquisition and close-to-intermediate range use
- Handgun, rifle, or shotgun setups with a compatible mounting system
- Customers who verify exact product and firearm compatibility before ordering
TRA Take
The right optic or mount should be selected around the firearm, shooting distance, target size, lighting conditions, mounting system, and the shooter’s preferred sight picture. For close-range sights, dot or reticle size, emitter design, battery access, mounting footprint, and co-witness height are the most important comparisons.
